Business and Management

Within organisations big and small throughout the world the underlying concepts of business continue to operate, day in, day out.

We are adept at delivering degree programmes that produce highly skilled and successful graduates that develop a thorough knowledge of the strategies needed to succeed in business.

We also support the development of entrepreneurship in the region by developing links in terms of skills development, business partnerships, knowledge transfer, social inclusion and community projects. We sponsor awards for the local Chamber of Commerce, and are actively involved in a number of regional projects involving Knowledge Transfer Partnerships, research into the development and support of small local businesses and support for women-owned businesses.

Research

Our research agenda aims to provide management knowledge to address issues facing individuals, organisations and society and improve the transfer of this knowledge.

A diverse range of research experience, expertise and interests spanning the full range of Business and Management functions and activities is offered. This includes strategic thinking, performance management, management accounting, knowledge management and management education. Research is also aligned to the Research Centre for Business and Society of the Faculty of Business and Law.
